WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JANUARY 2025

Whidislander · January 30

Well up at 6:30 am, showered, dressed and sipping with coffee and its 6:55 am. Shorter hair is definitely quicker! I didn't dry it but I moussed' it!
Its only supposed to be in the low 40's today, so definitely going to the gym. Then grocery shopping after we change and go out again. Then home, then out again at 2:30 for my massage. Busy day.
I didn't take any cold medicine last night and I was sinus busy! Draining, turn, tickle, repeat. I didn't bother husband, (in that he slept through it all) but I did annoy him at 3:30 when my body normally goes into a deep sleep. I sawed some cords there!
I video chatted with my middle son, watched Eli taking over his Dads milkshake. Athena didn't want to talk to me. Ah boo. Kindergarten ages can be snippitty like that. We had a nice chat though, he looked haggard, and wiped out. He gets no exercise. In a car, at a desk, on a couch. I want to talk to him about it, but who am I to talk? But he really needs to pay attention to his health a bit. Plus add a wee bit of stress of life on top of it all....😥💖
Well hugs ladies
Remember:
Its a good day for a good day!

Stopped at Walmart and picked up my steroids (4days of them), 10 days of fluconazole, and medicine for my home breathing treatments (though haven’t got the machine yet). For some reason I keep forgetting the name of the breathing treatment. 🤦‍♀️ Then went to therapist, stopped at Sonic, then stopped at Walgreens b/c they have the rum DH likes on sale, plus I got some candy (I know—-bad, but it was dark chocolate!), Mucinex, and Claritin. Glad I have a rewards membership there! Started at $120 but dropped it down to $84. Allergy season has begun here with Juniper and Elm pollinating along with 20 mph winds with no breaks here. My app calls it Low-Medium pollen count. (I use an app aptly named Pollen. I can track my reactions on the app and it tells me what I’m most reactive to among other things. I also use an app called Juli, where I can track the use of my rescue inhaler. Both are connected to apple health for a one place displays all on my phone. The therapist went well yesterday. spent a lot of time talking about my DYS and DMD who stress me out. Their monkeys are not my monkeys. My monkeys fly!~

Looking for apartments/rental houses is dangerous these days. I almost got scammed by a company that had the perfect house for rent but they wanted to pull my credit report before I even saw the house. I almost got pulled in but when the website started asking for my credit card and SS#, I got out of there fast. You are allowed to get your credit report free once a year and I hadn’t gotten mine yet. I told them I would do it my way, and she hung up on me. Going to have to go through a realtor to be safe.

Thought for the day

Why don’t skeletons fight themselves?

Heather - I WAS furious, but one of the things I still hate about my emotional substructure is that, when I'm angry at that level, I cry. Drives me 'round the bend. Shrink told me once that it was too dangerous in my childhood to get angry, as it would get a slap or a punch. The one time I did express it, I ended up getting kicked out at gunpoint. I learned to cry instead. I have found, though, that customer service people are much nicer to you on the phone if you're crying, so there's that. I'm only able to be sharp when I'm irritated. Once I get past irritation to fury, I end up crying. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I try very hard not to move past irritation.

Rebecca - Thanks for that thought - we all have to process emotion somehow, I guess. Sorry about Eli's issues. We tread carefully around still "momming" them, don't we? We just don't want to lose that connection, I think. Enjoy your busy day!

Got my first video "short" video done, a 30-second clip. They're a necessary part of the process these days, and interestingly enough, you get sensitive to them when you're doing all this. I knew exactly what piece of my 11 minute video would work for a short. It's in edits right now, but overall, I'm pretty pleased.

Oh, and the new vanity got here in one piece, and it actually has the sink... what a concept!

Later, y'all,
Love,
Lisa in AR

Good exercise Mo! I was listening to fast paced music so I did two songs on 3.0 on the treadmill, so my pulse rate got up to 128. Its now 2 hours later and I am still buzzing from that workout! I usually do 2.4 the first 10, 2.7-3.0 the next 10 minutes, and 2.4 the last 10 minutes. My goal is to do 5 minutes of 2.7 at the start and end, with 20 minutes of 3.0-3.5 for the bulk of my walk.👍🏼

Rebecca, I can see you in my mind's eye having fun. As my friend John would say, "You go, girl!"

I was sitting down watching television yesterday, and my legs fell asleep. So I stood up and walked, but my legs were still numb, and I knew I was going to fall. So I did, and I exercised my legs and got up. I thought getting older was not fun. So, if I watch Television, I need to walk around on the commercials. I believe sitting for long periods is not suitable for me.
I told Rose we would have a warm spell during my next week off so I could walk outside again. I will pay to use the gym on rainy days in February. I have a 5k in April to do. I plan to leave the 200s far behind this year. I am too short to carry all this weight and am glad I got rid of the 100-plus pounds.

Rita, the Darth Vader joke was a hit with my family. The nurse with the red crayon also got some chuckles. Wow, there are so many scammers out there. A realtor is the way to go. I can't wait to tell DS the skeleton joke.

Lisa, when I get angry, I tend to cry, too. I can feel my blood pressure climbing, too. I hate confrontation, but sometimes, people force it out of me. If I don't put them in their place, I cry later. My hands are tied at work, so I cry in a private room, especially when dealing with petty co-workers.
The other day, we had a baby on spinal precautions because the dad was angry at the mom and threw the baby down the steps to get back at her. It's a good thing he is in jail because I would be.

Well, I better get back to my laundry.

XO,
Mo from Mississippi.

LisaInArkansas · January 30

Woot! Well done, Mo! Both for the exercise and not going to jail. Especially for a worthless waste of skin like that. Hope the mother presses charges.

Heather - Love the dresses - I like it left long better.

The machine and treatment is called nebulizer- I have one and have been using it for years. When my asthma gets bad, almost every single winter, I end up on it for 5-6 weeks, treatments every 4 hrs when it is at it's worst.
I learned how to do the treatments when I was taking care of the triplets- they were preemies and needed treatments every winter and spring(plus a few other times during the year). I had them from the time they were 3months old until they were 5 1/2yrs old.

SophieRosieMom · January 30

Margaret - I love what you posted about the brain, and I think it's so true. So neat how it explains it. Going to grab it for my FB page.

Barbie - good job getting things accomplished. I'm still using checks with DH's name on them, I so rarely write checks anymore. When I broke my toe a few days after DH passed, only the vital things got accomplished in the financial world in the first month, and many non-priority things slid by the wayside. I have some catching up to do. Thanks for the reminder.

Mo - I really enjoyed seeing all of those photos. You always had the most beautiful smile, and I can see how you brighten things up when you are with patients and their families. Congrats again on your weight loss and focus on healthy eating and exercise. You are in inspiration.

Later - oh Mo, I would be so heartbroken for the baby that got thrown down the stairs. I couldn't do your job.

Lisa - so glad you checked the box so quickly and discovered the sink was missing. So many things are getting frustrating - maybe it's the cold weather? Makes a person wonder. Update - glad the vanity with the sink arrived!!

Rita - Yes, going through a realty or property management company is the safest bet. So glad your intuition alerted you this was a scam. When DH and I moved to Seattle in 1977, we immediately got swindled out of the money we put down for an apartment that didn't exist.

It was a response to an ad in the paper.

Heather - you and G look fabulous in your "twin" outfits. Love the fabric!

Great lunch with a couple of my favorite gals. Now, back home and thinking about a nap.

cityjaneLondon · January 30

Mo - You have done so brilliantly with your weight loss.

Sweaty and happy!

John made me his signature chicken stew tonight. I wasn't sure how much I would be eating for lunch, so I thought that would be a good flexible bet. As it happened, I didn't have a large lunch, and I was starving by dinner time, so we finished it all!

In the restaurant, I had crispy squid with garlic mayonnaise, and Toulouse sausage with a sauce and vegetables. Espresso. And a small glass of Sauvignon Blanc.
I felt full!

Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

bwcetc · January 30

Mo ... you are beautiful ... inside and out!

Lisa ... I hate when I cry. Hate it.

Heather ... You and your friend look great, but I liked the way you wore the dress better ...just sayin'

Seem to be working my way through a fast moving cold ... called both my primary and the surgeon and as of right now the surgery is still a go for tomorrow! Praying that I can get this behind me.

I called the MS Society to ask why I haven’t received my stuff yet (medal, t-shirt and jersey). It was my 3rd call, 1st excuse was they were delayed in getting the jerseys sent to them. They could have sent the medal and t-shirt and sent the jerslater. It’s never been this late before. We were thinking about going over there for this years ride but Kirby dealing with 3 dogs while I ride wouldn’t give him time to volunteer. I will be doing virtual again this year and will register on February 1st so it will be an easy date to remember.

I made a batch of dog treats for the last 3days after my workout for the day. Didn’t want to do it all in one day because it would have taken me 6hours. It was easier to break it down to 2 hours at a time. They are in the freezer so they will last.

Annie did a great job today waiting in the car while I had my appointment with the dentist. When we got home she wanted me to sit on the couch with her for a long time.

exermom · January 31

Mo – great photos. I really enjoyed looking at “the timeline”. You never stopped being a real cutie

We used to have a school here that gave massages but don’t any longer. There’s only one place and it’s expensive. The other nearest place is about ½ hr away. How I wish the local college would offer it! Especially with the hospital near here, the nurses really need it.

Lisa – being an emotional person, I cry at being mad too. I also cry at movies.

We’re supposed to have our heat system looked at today. I’m thinking I’ll go for a walk before the guy comes and then make the chicken for when we get back.

Went for my walk, the guy is here and I’m cooking the chicken

rebecca – great goal

Beth – I hate when I cry too. The good part is that when people see you crying, most times they feel sorry for you and try to help as much as possible. Good luck on your surgery

Worked on the puzzle some. I can only do an hour at a time otherwise I wind up doing the same thing. Soup kitchen tomorrow.

GodMomKim · January 31

Hi Gals,
I haven’t been writing, sorry! Just completely over whelmed.

Allie - Tracy’s sourdough looks great, I make sourdough often…It’s really not that hard to do but takes a lot of time my recipe lets it rise 18 hours….

Barbie – so sorry you are having to go through all of this with icky customer service to add to it. We are in your pocket holding your hand and blowing raspberries at the grumpy customer service folks.

Rebecca – great job of being healthy first and foremost

Lisa – beautiful Afghan

Rita – what a shame that even getting an apartment requires that level of alertness to a scammer.

Mo – I am so impressed with the job you do….. I could not do that. I cry at everything.

My world has been an uproar – BUT wanted to share something that might be helpful, with home insurance getting harder and harder to get due to the fires/floods/wind events those of that are home owners need to be careful. If you have a trust and own a home, if your home is in the trust, and your home owners insurance policy is in your name – not in the trust name or doesn’t have the trust listed as an additional insured, then technically your homeowners insurance doesn’t need to pay as the policy is for a home YOU own not for a home YOUR trust owns. My mom canceled her car insurance (she sold the car) and I had a huge issue with how Liberty Mutual treated us. So called my insurance agent at Farmers and he gave me a heads up.

More to write but not now, its get off the computer time.

Thinking of you all,
Kim in N. California

Carol, Tracey you are not alone. Hi! My name is Barbara and I’m an evening snackaholic. Debbie you said it, salty, then sweet, then salty again, all of the above!
Heidi I loved the McCall ice sculpture festival when we lived in Idaho. Amazing what so many sculptors did with just a chainsaw…
Allie, Tracy’s sourdough looks scrumptions! My first attempt at whole wheat sourdough made a nice doorstop.
Michele it makes me sad that your bowling frustration left you in tears. IMHO, just stop it! Do you really need to do something that makes you cry? Please take this advise with a grain of sald. I am the not-so-proud possessor of my company’s “Most Atrocious Bowler” trophy… ;}
Rebecca Was your eldest’s van 4-wheel drive? Love the pic of you in the fancy blue dress and heels. IMHO waking up from surgery crying is your body’s way of coping. Surgery, no matter how well intentioned and therapeutic, is still traumatic. Likewise extensive dental work. Really believe the crying response is as much physical as it is emotional.
Beth prayers for Friday’s surgery and that recovery is quick, comfortable and complete!
Rita ((hugs)) and condolences, your ex MIL was quite a gal to side with you against her son in the divorce. Good catch on the rental scam. When we were looking for a rental in Idaho while readying our home for sale, there were several “too good to be true” postings on Cragslist, scammers spoofed legitimate Zillow listings. [sigh]
Lisa what a score! Love the wrapper. Wow what a lot of work went into that afghan. Well done! And Bravissima for checking the vanity before the delivery guys left. A reminder to us all… As for rage, when I’m REALLY angry I first lose my voice, then the bitter, angry, tears squeeze out.
Margaret sorry to hear about the fall, thankful you have taken such good care of your health that I know you will recover quickly. What you said about good neighbors, truth!
Mo you are amazing, your loving heart just keeps stretching to include more needy ones. What a blessing you are to them and us! “Baby Suko” is that like son of Kong? Sweetie that’s not sweat, you are positively GLOWING!

Good thing indeed that scum is in jail, hope he stays there a loooong time, (and that somebody there, throws HIM down some stairs.)
Heather Burns night, paintings, writing, reaching out. You ROCK galfriend! Hope the back pain was temporary and is now gone.
Barbie “Do it self”

Lanette, modifying the lid lock or its latch could cause the machine to stop functioning (drum might not spin) and would certainly void your warranty. Yest I think it started out by just catching occasionally, then locking and staying locked. Sometimes cycling would release, other times power off on, other times unplug, and there were certainly times when I just gave it a d@mn good whack! Surge protector is working so far.
Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Single-SurgeCube-Protector-F9H100-CW/dp/B00006BBAB
An ill-advised organizing start and a couple of time-sensitive cooking/gift projects have left the OMG room in chaos. Forecast is for cold, wet, windy, blustery. Good thing I got all the grocery shopping done today. Here are my rainy day projects.

Incoming Bluster

Worktable

Desk

Keyboard

Tea: Bigelow “Lemon Lift” every morning, 3 cups w/5g sugar in each. For awhile was drinking Good Earth Sweet’n’Spicy original without sugar, but it started triggering some GERD as does my favorite chai tea latte. Occasional Nutcracker Sweet, Constant Comment, Honey Lemon Ginseng, Tasty Tangerine, and Yogi herbals as needed.
Today’s gratitude: Cold and windy as it was fighting the shopping wars this afternoon, at least it wasn’t snowing! So grateful we moved to Brookings from Boise ;}
Later, lighter, lovelies!

Snowflake1968 · January 31

I read through yesterday but didn’t have time to comment. I was busy making birthday cards for my girls. I have Kaitlyn’s done except the sentiment on the inside. I still have stuff to do on Lauryn’s.
I’ll do it tomorrow evening since tonight is ceramics.

Lanette - I bet you that plastic clip is needed to tell the machine to function. I had an old washer that that clip broke on and I had to stick something down in the hole to make it work.

I’m enjoying all of the pictures. I got married instead of graduating, so I don’t have a picture at grad. I’ll have to find a wedding photo of me.
My heaviest has been 202, the first time back in 2018 shortly before I started participating on here. I made it up to 200 this time, I’m currently 196-197 depending on the day. I want to get back at it this year. I think I would like to get to 160. Then see where I go.

Rebecca - A roast beef dinner is my favourite meal.

Lisa - I find the whole world is getting worse and worse for everything.
Some days it’s nice just to sit and talk to the residents and go back in tome. I had two conversations today, I’m becoming more comfortable with them.
One resident told me he was paid a penny for every two dandelions he picked, root and all, off of a neighbour lady’s lawn. He said he used to buy all his candy that way as a child.
I angry cry too! Probably more than any other kind of cry. It makes me more angry when I do. 😂🤷‍♀️

Barbie - there are several small businesses here that offer discounts if you pay via cash, the bank fees are hurting them.

Heather - you look wonderful! I love that dress on you. You’re very stylish.

Rebecca - I hope your son finds some time to care for himself.
I hope his wife isn’t putting all of the workload of children and house work on him when he gets home.
I went too far in making sure I was able to do anything and everything and didn’t ask anything of Rodger, I didn’t want to be dependent like my mother was. My girls witnessed this and went in complete opposite directions of me. Lauryn’s husband I felt sorry for when the kids were young because he was expected to come home and help with the kids after working all day. Lauryn used to get angry with me if I told her she expected too much and she was right to some degree.
Kaitlyn and Brodey seem to have more of an “old fashioned” type marriage where he mostly does the outside stuff and she takes care of the inside. However, if Brodey’s working and there is mowing to be done Kaitlyn does it just like if Brodey’s home he’ll throw laundry in. They take turns doing meals and just seem to have a good balance. I think it’s a delicate balancing act of dividing responsibilities and sometimes we don’t see when it’s gone off course.

Mo - I could never in a million years do your job.
We are so fortunate to have a children’s hospital here, today and tomorrow is the annual radio-o-thon to raise money for it. They broadcast from the hospital for two days and interview parents and some adults that were children that needed the hospital. Some of the stories just make me so sad. Of course, they play the saddest songs in the background and throughout the interviews.
You are a blessing to those you help.

Beth - I hope the cold diminishes and you are able to have the surgery.

Kim - I hope you were able to get the insurance straight for your Mom.
In my opinion if we legally have to have insurance they shouldn’t be allowed to give us what we need.

I’m home from ceramics and ready to head to bed. Not a lot to say today.

In my case ... a cold drink. It's too warm for a hot drink.

cityjaneLondon · January 31

I'm not an angry cryer, but John is. He rapidly gets very upset. Nearly all the men I have known have cried easily in arguments.
I tend not to cry in a crisis, but I do get nasty/furious, especially if I have had a few drinks. (Not any more, thankfully) I can say some horrible things.

If I'm dealing with authority, I can go v cold and sarcastic.
I don't cry when I'm sad, much at all. Bea once asked me if I cried when my father died. I had to explain to her that I don't cry at that sort of thing.
I do cry from relief and happiness. I cry at sentimental things, and a lot through empathy. I cry through exhaustion.

Lisa - Thank you for sending me the video. I love the idea that we are not our feelings, and try to remember that when I start getting wrapped up in them. Perspective is a handy 'life hack'.

Tracey - I must say I've been wondering why Rodger hasn't been taking on more of the household tasks while he isn't working. At the very least, I would expect a meal, and the house tidied, washing up done etc. Food shopping. Neither of my husbands liked 'cleaning housework', but did pretty much everything else in fair proportions. That's why I have had a cleaner most of my life.

John does breakfast, morning coffee, all the trash, including recyclables, and all the washing up after my mess, kitchen tidying, wiping down, etc. Also one big shop a week for perishables. I do the laundry, and the cooking, ordering deliveries of food, and general keeping tidy. Pretty much equal. If I were the one at work, I would hope for the laundry to be done as well. Then when he goes back to work, we could have a discussion and reorganise the division of labour.

My father always did most of the cooking, and breakfasts, and the washing up. He never did housework and my mother, who worked longer hours, resented it. Bitterly.

Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

mcmillonmail · January 31

Tracey, I know each of you could do my job because you all have big hearts. Tracey and Heather, I don't think Rodger can do anything right now because it sounds like he is experiencing Major Depression. If this is true, it can be debilitating. All he can do is exist. He needs medical help. Tracey, you are like me. If I am working hard, I expect my mate to work hard. What you described reminds me of patients that I saw in the VA when I was in school. I remember when I was depressed but had to work because I had mouths to feed.

Machka, I love those things as well. I love to travel to see them.

Beth, I hope you feel better soon.

Rebecca, have you ever gone out with your sons, or are they on the ship? My uncle always wanted me to join the Navy, and I wish I had. I wish I had so I could have had the benefits. Keep up the great work of staying healthy.

Okay, everyone. Stay safe, get healthy, and have a wonderful weekend. I'll be back tomorrow.

XO,

Lisa: It can be so frustrating when others’ inefficiencies ruffle one’s equanimity.

Heather: That length is very flattering to you. Elegance personified.

We had a very interesting speaker at the meeting yesterday. It was about a visit to Japan the she had been on. Fascinating place.

I’m all set for my Latin this morning.

My DDIL is in Dubai, giving talks and chats on her three main books. Dr Jessamy Hibberd. She sent in some photos today of various experiences she had been to including a desert concert.

I was taken with this photo with her name on the back wall! Obviously it's set up for the chat. She said they had a great panel of women.

Her parents are with her, all paid for.
Am I envious? Moi?

Well done Jessamy. 👏

Got a bicycle ride in today ...

GP appointment for my husband today - got referral to a orthopaedic surgeon who has agreed to considered my husband's case.

BTW - he's rolling around on a knee walker/scooter. We got him one yesterday.

Audiologist appointment for me - I'm a little bit more deaf than I was a couple more years ago. Evidently it's a genetic thing, and I'll continue to gradually lose my hearing. But I'm not ready for a hearing aid yet - it wouldn't help me at this point and would only serve to be annoying.

Yes, I follow her on Linked In and Instagram.

But why envious? She has pursued a completely different line of work than you have which lends itself to what she does.

Would you really feel comfortable doing podcasts, youtubes and ted talks?

It's Friday!
Add me to crying when I get mad which makes me madder!!!
I have been concentrating on 15 mins walking each day and hitting protein levels. I have done great except for yesterday.....Already did my walk this morning while reading you all. Didn't get high speeds, but walked! I still don't know how I can go from being caught up at end of day Monday, to being 4 days behind on Tuesday! Wednesday was DH's birthday. Granddaughter and I checked in and put away $70k/4 pallets worth of Stihl equipment. Up side was almost 13k steps. I made him brownies for his birthday. Yesterday morning he had dentist appt early, I never walked. Got to work, granddaughter drove me to pick up rollback truck from mechanic. I never did get my rhythm yesterday. I so needed a nap by 2 pm. Went to dinner with Youngest daughter and family for DH's birthday. They then came to house for a short visit. I was in the bed at 9! So lessons learned from yesterday.....I feel better when I walk and when I get in protein, fruits, and veggies!

Healing thoughts!
Hugs for all!

I am one of those holding you up as you need it!

Much love,
Kylia

Well... we lost Jeffrey about 830pm last night. So very glad I was able to say goodbye. No details on funeral or anything yet. Not sure if they're going to do anything down here in the cities or have everything up north. They lived right here in the cities for years before moving only a couple years ago, so I would think they might have something here, but who knows and there is an Army base right up there nearby them, so he may be buried up there. Our National Cemetery is here and he has the right to be either place.

Love to all.
